"According to a former chairman of the joint chiefs, Clinton managed to mislay not for hours, but for months, the special plastic card with the codes that in military and White House parlance is called 'the biscuit.' Without it, the president is theoretically unable to order a nuclear launch.
The extraordinary revelation comes towards the end of a new memoir from retired Army Gen. Hugh Shelton, who served under President Clinton as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called 'Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of An American Warrior.'"
This Day in US Military History is an ongoing catalog of military related events be it, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard. Pitch in and let me know if something is wrong or missing or if I just don't have the whole story.

I attend a WW2 veterans lunch every other week and, in the absence of a formal program, had started to make a brief presentation of This Day in US History using the information from this Web Page. It has become a great success. I copied the day in history to use as reference notes,slimming it down to fit the time constraints. Now you have made the page blue with white lettering which is costly to copy. How do I make ot Black and White for my purposes.I am not critical of the Red, White and Blue patriotic motif but its too costly to copy in a non black and white format. HELP
No problem.
Couple of different ways to go. Probably the easiest is to simply select the text of the post ( you can do this easiest by clicking in the words somewhere and then pressing CTRL and A at the same time, you'll see everything on the page get selected. Then, without moving the mouse or clicking it's buttons press CTRL and C. That copies everything that's been selected. Next open Notepad (fast way--START, RUN, type NOTEPAD, Click OK) and in that application click CTRL and V to paste what you've copied. Notepad is a very simple program and cannot do color, so all the text will be black on white.
Hope that helps!
